"I remember your name is Ya Ya, right?"
Ya Ya kept a straight face and wouldn't look at him.
"My uncle works in another city. Did something happen while I was away?"
Ya Ya looked at her aunt who had already walked away and whispered, "Hmph, if it weren't for Aunt's intelligence, it would be too late for you to ask these questions now."
Just one sentence was enough to put He Lin on high alert.
"So something really did happen!"
Just as Ya Ya was about to speak again, Old Man Jiang came out and took his granddaughter away.
"Mr. He, if you have any questions, just ask the boss. Talking to the child like that will frighten her."
He Lin nodded and went inside. However, after looking around the courtyard, he couldn't find Yu Lian, and was finally reminded by Xiao Huzi.
"Brother-in-law, my cousin has gone into the pharmacy. You're not authorized to go in, or I'll be fined."
"I'll cover the fine. Where's the pharmaceutical lab?"
Little Tiger waved his hand: "Brother-in-law, I have principles. And my cousin said that no unauthorized personnel are allowed in. If you want to find her, you'll have to wait... at least half an hour."
After considering it for a moment, He Lin decided not to disturb his wife who was working hard.
"Do you even know what Ya Ya was talking about?"
Xiao Huzi bluntly stated, "Isn't it just that my cousin was kidnapped and almost killed with a bomb, but you weren't there?"
Xiao Huzi casually recounted the matter, but it threw He Lin into a panic. He quickly walked to the door of the medicine-refining room, raised his hand but then stopped, and then paced back and forth at the door with great anxiety.
Yu Lian was urgently called away as soon as she entered, because she had made a new breakthrough and completely forgot about He Lin. In addition, Ya Ya stopped her in the middle, so the two did not meet again for another two hours.
"He Lin?"
It was completely dark, and a few sparks could be seen at the end of the eaves. Coupled with the faint smell of smoke, Yu Lian asked uncertainly, "He Lin?"
The man turned around, quickly extinguished his cigarette, and then fanned himself to remove the lingering smoke. He took a few steps forward, but didn't get too close: "Sorry, I'll wait until you're bored..."
"Okay, let's go back."
Yu Lian led the way, with He Lin following behind. The autumn wind brought a chill to their skin.
The backyard gate was closed, followed by the sound of the car door opening and closing gently, isolating much of the noise inside the car.
"What are you hiding from me?"
Yu Lian immediately guessed that He Lin must have learned something from someone else while she was busy inside.
"Oh, I did run into some things recently, but it's all in the past. There's no use in worrying. Even if I had told you then, what could you do besides worry? You can't be by my side all the time. We're husband and wife, but we're also independent individuals. Of course I know you care about me, but sometimes there are things that don't need to be reported all the time."
"Yes, there's no need for constant reporting. But what happened afterward? Why didn't you tell me?"
Seeing that they were about to start arguing, Yu Lian still didn't understand why, even though they understood each other so well, they still often had disagreements and would argue.
"I've been incredibly busy, and this time it's the truth. The senior technician who prepares the medicine at our company has passed away, the formula is gone, and we can only last for six months at most before our company goes bankrupt. I've been staying up late these past few days working with several professors to figure out how to conduct experiments..."
These words made He Lin feel unworthy of being a husband—always getting caught up in trivial matters and ignoring her real needs.
"I'll help you."
"No need, we've already found a solution. Li Yanshen has invited two experts for me. If there are no problems, we can proceed with the relevant testing after the experiment is finished; it won't take long."
"You didn't tell me, but you told Li Yanshen?"
"He Lin, don't be unreasonable. I didn't tell Li Yanshen, and I don't know how he found out."
He Lin remained silent for a long time, silently reciting the story of that scheming villain a thousand times in his mind.
"Li Yanshen is too cunning; you should avoid him. His underhanded actions while I'm away are like a spiest man..."
The conversation eventually returned to the issue of Li Yanshen, and Yu Lian quickly intervened to stop it.
"Alright, he has nothing to say. Tell me what you've been up to these past few days."
These words made He Lin feel a little better.
"Yes, there's not much to say about this kind of person. Let me slowly tell you what I've been doing these past few days..."
He Lin wished he could fill his wife's head with everything he had, so that she would only think of him, not that scheming man hiding in the shadows.
In this industry, it's impressive to establish oneself in ten years, and normal to reach the top of the pyramid in twenty years. But He Lin only took less than a year. From a foreign businessman who was only vaguely known, to betting against the entire market, he grew from 50,000 to 500,000, and then from 500,000 to 5 million. His speed was astonishing, making his peers tremble with fear.
Now he manages billions of dollars. What started as an insignificant small company has now become the tallest building on Financial Street. This is all thanks to his almost obsessive understanding of the market. His name has become an indispensable part of the entire industry.
Yu Lian didn't understand some of the profound professional terms. She only knew that her initial judgment was wrong—He Lin had reached the top, but he was not alone. He had her, his children, and his family by his side.
"Although I don't understand what you've been doing these days, I still congratulate you on your success and wish you all the best in the future."
The necessary encouragement is still essential. Even without Yu Lian's blessing, He Lin will never fall down in this lifetime.
"Can I park here?"
Why are you parking?
It was pitch black all around at night, so he probably wasn't looking to buy anything.
I want to kiss you.
"Stop being so inappropriate."
"I want to hold you tight, but I won't have the chance when I go back."
"Now there's even less of a chance. What kind of behavior is it to be hugging and kissing in public late at night? It's a good thing it's not like before, otherwise you would be arrested and treated like a hooligan."
Ignoring He Lin's request, Yu Lian continued driving and soon arrived at the alley entrance. Unable to drive in, she had to park on the roadside. The roadside was deserted, and even the streetlights were broken; only the outlines of the buildings were vaguely visible.
Just one hug... just one.
Helpless, Yu Lian took the initiative to hug He Lin, but quickly let go.
"You're more clingy than a child, go home."
"it is good."
He Lin strode to catch up, not bothering anyone in this respect, and stopping short of causing trouble.
"Tell me in detail what happened that day. I want to know."
"Yes, I'll have a proper chat with you later when I have time."
From a distance, Yu Lian could hear sounds from home. It was getting late, and the sounds of children playing and laughing seemed particularly jarring in the alley.
Hearing the knock, Yu Lian quickly opened the door.
"Oh, He Lin's here. Come in quickly, I told you not to wear an extra layer this morning, your hands were cold."
"Okay, I'll definitely wear more clothes tomorrow morning."
"Let's go, I'll lock the door. The food's still warm."
Wang Meixia invited the couple inside for a meal, and then the children ran out again.
"Dad, what brings you here?"
When He Ningxi pulled back the curtain, she saw her father's face. Thinking he was there to take her back to school, she ran back in fright, not noticing her brother behind her. The three of them fell down together.
